Oh, oof

Maintainer hostility? This person’s account of their own issue appears extraordinarily inaccurate

Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.

No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.

it’s a luxury good, like travel.

It shouldn’t be.

A lot of major health insurance providers have free “self-help” style mental healthcare options, which are better than nothing even if they’re kind of lame, but even one of the worst insurers I’ve been on (Kaiser Permanente) had decent mental health benefits. They like money and they know that subsidizing therapy is way cheaper than paying claims for a lot of the issues poor mental health can lead to

Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

If you are interested in software development, and willing to put in the work to actually learn strong fundamentals, I think you’re going to have a clear leg up on the competition after the AI bubble in all likelihood bursts eventually. Vibe coding is hurting the signal to noise ratio in general right now, but as far as I’m aware a “live portfolio” like a website of personal projects has always been as good if not better than a resume when it comes to selling your skills in software.

Just consider whether you’ll be able to tolerate doing the work when you’re not going to be the one in charge of deciding what you work on.

It’s somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates

According to the USDA, “sell-by”, “use-by”, “freeze-by”, and “best if used by/before” dates are all indicators of quality, not safety. Except for infant formula, nothing is required to be dated by federal regulations, and an item being past its date does not necessarily imply spoilage, just a loss of quality.

You may want to check with your state and local governments to see if there are any more specific rules that would apply in your location.

Plot twist: you are the little spoon and you’re trying to wash yourself

question your assumption that you need to respond in the first place. You have no obligation to spend your energy on the “troll or functionally illiterate person” coin flip. to put it another way…

What I want is to say something that quickly quarantines the misreading comment in people’s minds so the misreading doesn’t infect the entire thread.

if for the sake of example we ignore the possibility that your writing actually was unclear or ambiguous, then for the misreading to “infect the entire thread”, the other readers would have to have similarly poor reading comprehension, right? that or they’re putting little enough effort in not to catch the original response being way off base. if that’s the case, is it really that important how you are perceived?

This is like 80% accurate yeah

well, that article disagrees with you though. That “feature” is only going to do anything to Windows installations.

Also, OS doesn’t matter if it’s a bios update.

The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called “WPBT” or “Windows Platform Binary Table”. WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as “the Vendor’s Rootkit.” Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted.

The entire pedestal the cube is on comes through the blue portal and the cube slides to the floor

That’s just yelling from particularly close range

it’s Breath of the Wild Link, though you can technically find the hairband hidden in Tears of the Kingdom as well

Damn, clickbait headline wins [the attention] yet again…

I give this a score of 10/0

I mean, there’s a lot of ways bodies are dirty, but that just means you have to recognize the reasonable limits to cleanliness and learn to deal with what remains. (“shit happens”, after all)

As someone who struggled a lot with black-and-white thinking when I was younger, I can definitely see how someone could develop some warped views in the absence of decent education / role models.
